Chapter Three

The Secret pt.1

A few days later, Nikita shows back up at Birkoff's house to ask for his opinion. Birkoff comes in from his morning jog only to see Nikita standing in the kitchen with a worried look on her face.

"Hey Birkoff.", said Nikita

"Hey Nikita. What's up?", said Birkoff

"I want to know your opinion on something."

"Sure. What is it?"

"Birkoff, I want to know if my decision was dumb and risky.", said Nikita while looking at the ground.

"Well, to tell you the truth yeah."

"I knew it would cause trouble.", said Nikita while taking a seat on a stool.

"Then why did you decide to hide all of this?!",said Birkoff.

"I just...I...I don't know. I guess I wanted Michael to stay focused on bringing Division down. I'm so selfish.",Nikita said while crying in her hands.

"Look,Niki,you're not selfish. Sure you weren't thinking at the time but now it's all clear. I know you. You're everything but selfish.", said Birkoff.

"Do you think it's too late?", sniffled Nikita

"He may get mad, but it's never too late. Like my mom used to say, it's now or never.", said Birkoff.

"Where's Michael?", asked Nikita

"He's out running a couple of errands. He should be back soon. Do you want to wait for him?"

"No,no.I'll just...um...go. It'd be better if I left before he got back.",Nikita said standing by the door.

"Wait. I thought you were about to tell him.", said Birkoff confused.

"I am, I 's just that...I don't know how. So until then I'm not going to tell him."

"Just as long as you tell him soon. I don't want him going on for a long time not knowing anything. You know it's harder for me than for you and Alex. I have to actually live with him."

"Oh you'll be fine.", said Nikita while patting his cheek.

Just then they heard what sounded like a car pulling in to the driveway. At that they ended their conversation and Nikita ran out the door while trying not to be seen by Michael.

When Nikita turned the corner towards her car, Michael happened to look up and see her dark hair swinging around the corner. Michael didn't know who it was so he decided to jump out of his car and chase her. He had chased her all the way to her car. When she got in her car, Michael was standing at the top of the hill. That's when he saw her, he saw who it was.

"Nikita.",Michael whispered to himself.

Nikita didn't say anything. She just started her car and drove as fast as she could away from the house. When she was gone Michael stormed back to the house to have a little chat with Birkoff.

"Birkoff!",Michael yelled into the house.

"What, what's up?",Birkoff said casually.

"What the hell was Nikita doing here?!",yelled Michael with anger in his eyes.

"Sh-sh-she only came by to..uh..say hi.",said Birkoff scared out of his mind.

Michael then grabbed Birkoff and threw him against the wall. Birkoff then knew that Michael wasn't up for any games. He wanted the truth and he wanted it now.

"I don't believe you, so I'm going to ask you again!What the hell was she doing here?!,said Michael.

"I'm telling the truth! She just came by to say hi!"

"But she's supposed to be in Russia with Alex! She said that remember you were in here.",said Michael while starting to let Birkoff go.

" ...uh...came by to tell me...that they were done in Russia.", said Birkoff still scared.

"I'm still not convinced.", Michael said while glaring at Birkoff.

That's when Michael thought about Nikita was with Alex like she said, then Alex should know something. It was then decided that he would go and try to get the truth out of Alex. At that moment he grabbed his coat and was about to go out the door when Birkoff spoke up.

"Hey where are you going?!",yelled Birkoff.

"Somewhere where I'll get an answer."

"What?",Birkoff said in a confused way.

By then Michael was out the door and in his car. He drove off as fast as he could away from the house. For some reason, he felt like he should call the cell phone number Nikita gave him. He decided to give it a go. He dialed the number and it kept ringing.


Back at Alex's apartment

Nikita stormed in the house and immediately went to her ,who was in the kitchen, saw her and decided to go see what was wrong with her.

"Hey Nikita,what's wrong?", Alex said through the door.

"Nothing, I'm fine.",Nikita said through a sob.

"Nikita are you...are you crying?"

"Just...just go. I'm ok."

"I'm coming in.",Alex said while turning the doorknob.

When Alex walked in, she saw Nikita sitting in the corner on the floor with her legs pulled up to her face. When Nikita looked up Alex saw that she was crying. She had never seen Nikita crying this hard before. It kind of scared her and worried her at the same time.

"Nikita what's wrong? Did Birkoff go too far? If he did I will go over there right now and knock his teeth out of his mouth and then I'll...",Alex was saying before she got cut off.

"No .It wasn't Birkoff.",said Nikita with her head against the wall.

"Then why are you crying?", Alex asked while taking a seat next to Nikita.

"I saw Michael.", said Nikita now looking into Alex's eyes.

"So you saw Michael and started crying?", Alex asked in a confused way.

" 's not that I saw Michael, but...I think he knows."

"Wait what?! How is that possible?!"

"I think he saw."

"Oh you think...",Alex said

She was then cut off by Nikita's cell phone that was sitting on her got up and looked at the caller then froze where she was standing. Alex could tell something was wrong and went to go see what it was.

"What's wrong? Who is it?", said Alex with a worried tone.

"It's...it's...it's...",Nikita stuttered

"Who, who?!,Alex practically screamed.

"Michael.",Nikita said while looking at Alex


Back in Michael's car

He called the phone three times before he stopped. He was almost at Alex's apartment and closer to finding the truth. He would search the world for Nikita if he didn't get any answers out of Alex. He promised himself that.

While lost in his thoughts, He almost passed up his turn. Just a few more minutes and he would be at Alex's apartment.

Back at Alex's apartment

Nikita sat there in her own thoughts while Alex talked and talked and talked. After she saw the caller id on her phone she toned out everything but the ringing of her cell phone and herself. After three times he stopped ,but Nikita knew he wasn't giving up until he got answers. That's when it came to her.

"Alex!",Nikita practically yelled.

"What!", Alex said.

"He's coming here!",Nikita said practically jumping to her feet.

"What?! You have to go before he gets here.",Alex said while heading to the window.

"I know that already!",Nikita said while gathering some of her clothes and putting them into a bag.

" .",Alex said with a worried tone.

"What's the matter?"

"What color is Michael's car?"

" ?",said Nikita now looking up at Alex.

"I think he just pulled up."

Nikita didn't say anything. She just stood there in shock. What was she going to do? Michael was already here and she hadn't left.
